Publisher Description
Looks can be deceiving, the same is true for reputations
As the head of his family, Robert Beckford, the Earl of Masten, was accustomed to dealing with various problems his siblings had caused of one sort or another. However he wasn’t prepared when his cad of brother ruined and then abandoned a young lady. To right the wrong, Robert married the girl himself; but his chivalry only went so far. He didn’t want a wife, and most certainly not a scandalous one. So after repeating his vows, he sent her packing, off to a secluded estate and expected her to stay put.
After years of mistreatment at the hands of her family, Lydia was prepared to be an accommodating wife; but her rigid and unforgiving husband asked too much of her. After languishing for years in her opulent prison, Lydia leaves her country estate for the glamour and excitement of London—and unfortunately her husband’s path.

A Scandalous Wife
Very entertaining story and characters. There were a few editing mistakes for anyone bothered by that. I felt the sex was not necessary because the story was so good except for one heavy issue.
Good read.
I’m glad I’m not from that era. Women had no rights and little protection. How do you survive a rape by your own brother? I’m glad she found love after years of suffering.
A scandalous wife
A little too much drama for me but it did clear up fast each time. There is a rape aspect for those who need to know that in advance. Overall this was a good read. I almost wish it didn’t end when it did. I would’ve loved to know what consequences the mistress that spread the lies faced however.
